Death of Marshall W. Crane.

Marshall w. Crane died at Terra
Alta, Sept. %, 1887, at $3.50 o'clock A.
NJ. Who that looked upon his manly
and robust form, few days ago,
could have realized that he would so
sood be in his grave! Yet such is
now the sad fact and is but another
illustration OF the oft repeated but lit.
tie needed admonition, that sin the
midst of life we are in DEATH" He
was the second son of the late Colonel
VIM. B. Crane, and was in his twen-
ty-ninth year. He was taken ill about
ten days previous to his death. Judg-
ing from his usual good health and
vigorous constitution, he seemed TO
have had at least a half-century yet
to live; and why he was so soon cut
down, we shall better understand
"when the mists of life are cleared
away"
On the 1st day of December last he
married that most estimable lady,
Miss Katie ToWnshend. of Oakland,
and to them son was born on the
10Th. The death of the husband and
father so soon, is therefore particularly
a sad one. That he should have had
las was the case-a strong desire to
live, for the sake of his dear wife and
child, was both reasonable and natur-
al. And although it is to be regret
ted that he should have postponed
the most important work of his life
until few hours before his death !;
yet it is source of great consolation
to his surviving friends, that, like
the penitent thief upon the cross, he
looked to Jesus for mercy and SALIVA
ton and was saved at 1.-THE eleventh
hour" He was fully conscious to
the last and early in the evening
previous to his death, realizing fully
that his end was near, he not only
prayed earnestly himself, but be-
sought his friends to pray for him.
His agony of mind increased for an
hour or more, when, to his great re-
lief. hts burden fell off. light from
Heaven beamed upon his soul, and
he seemed to be almost astonished at
and overjoyed at the wonderful
change that had come over him.
Moreover he earnestly exhorted his
two brothers not to do as he had
done, not to follow his example in
putting off the work of repentan ce
and faith until dying hour. May
they heed his solemn admonitions,
his dying counsel
He was a member of the Newburg
lodge of the knights of Pythias. who
took charge of his remains, and con-
Quoted his funeral services in very
beautiful and impressive manner at
the Oakland cemetery, where, on FRI
day last he was laid to rest,
in accordance with the wishes of mis-
bereaved companion.
And may He who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb" carry
her and her tender infant in His lov.
ing arms over life's rough places /;
and may we all meet Marshall in
"that beautiful land" where the eye
is never dimmed with weeping nor
farewells eyer spoken.

Rome Viewed from n Housetop.

Tho plcasantest thing in Rome, the
thing which no creature, however great
his power, has been able to touch, is the
sunshine. To live ON a Roman housetop,
as do, is in itself great happiness. 1t
i, long climb, but who minds that,
o zee w? THO rocf is a terrace where
plants and ivy grow, and leaning over
tie outer wall you can watch the busy
life far III the street below, or wait while
tho day dies behind the Nous Janiculus.
The ragged pines that crown the hill
stand back against the sky, and one
knows that below is the old convent
where Tasso died. The statue of st.
Paul, on top of the pillar of Marcus
AtreIius, is silhouetted very clear; and
nearer the black tower of st. Andrea del
latte, where in the evening hundreds of
birds come to rest. The pigeons do not
stop there; instead they wheel and circle,
shining like silver, then settle down about
the fountain of Trevi-nestle close about
the water gods grouped there. 1t is
pleasant, too. to stand upon the bridges
and watch the passing crowd-to listen
tt the ripple of the water and know the
voice is that of Father Tib.,r; to take a
sun bath On the Pincio. with Rome lying
at your feet; to pause and watch the

models, and bcggars on the Spanish

DO Birds Fly Down?

/ see, in back number of st. Nicholas.
that one of your young correspondents
appeals partly to me in regard to birds
flying down. But all who have written
seem SO well posted that doubt if 1 can
add anything to their knowledge.
However, 1 have seen California quail,
a wood dove and a humning bird flying
downward; but in slow flyers, with
large wings and heavy bodies. the wings
are used more or less as parachutes in
going down; in other words, the birds
spread their wings and rely upon gravity.
This l have noticed in the sand hill
cranes in their migrations along the
Sierra Madres. A flock of say 100 will
mount upward in beautiful spiral,
flashing in the sunlight, all the while
uttcring loud, discordant notes, until
they attain an altitude of nearly a mile
above the sea level. Then they form in
regular lines, and soar away at an angle
that in five miles or so will bring them
within LOCO feet of the earth. Then
they will stop and begin the spiral up
ward movement again until a high eleva-
ton is reached, when away they go
AGAIN, sliding down hill in the air, to-
ward their winter home. 1t is very evil
don't that a vast amount of muscular
e:-crtion IS saved i'll ills way. In some
OF these slides that l have watched
